It’s Valentine’s month and this year we’re consciously coupling with minimal makeup that enhances natural beauty

Comeback Queen

Lips, Dior Addict Lip Glow in Dior 8 Top, Anine Bing; corset, Missta

Equal parts romance and rock ‘n’ roll, worn-in liner and tinted gloss are key elements of the nineties beauty comeback taking social media by storm. We’ll be skipping the ultra-skinny brows and brushing them up instead.

There is nothing more alluring than gently tousled locks, and choppy layers is the style of the season. To nail the lowmaintenance look, ask your stylist for long, V-shaped layers for maximum movement.

Under Cover

Eyes, Dior Mono Couleur Couture High-Color Eyeshadow in Pearl Star; Lips, Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Shimmer in Purple Rain Top, Alice + Olivia

Keep freckles visible by using tinted moisturiser over full-coverage foundation. It not only avoids product settling into fine lines but allows natural radiance to shine through, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Get Glowing

Skincare is not only reserved for the face. Keeping your skin in tip-top shape means moisturising your body, too. Reach for a luxurious, shimmering body oil for a two-in-one treat.
